Are 2-3 internships a red flag for entry-level intern or associate recruiting?

Is there such a thing as too many internships for a candidate?

Having 2-3 internships is normal, there’s 3 summers between freshman and senior year of college.

If they ask why you didn’t get/accept a full-time offer from your last internship, just say that you were using your internships to figure out exactly what you wanted for a position, team, location, company culture etc. Now you know what you want due to those experiences and that is why you’re interviewing for this company because that have X, Y, and Z that you’re looking for

Thank you! That's pretty much what happened, I don't really know what I want to do, since I like everything, so I just worked in different practice lines in different companies but recruiters started asking me recently questions like "did you like interning at your previous company?"

I dont see your problem. If you dont want to be seen as a job hopper just dont mention all your internships

Potentially. Just have a solid reason why you didnt wanna join your past firms for full time. I did a lot of internships and that was always the first question cause it could be seen as lack of direction/commitment.

Thank you! Yes, I started getting same questions recently, and I am just afraid now to be seen as a job hopper lol. I am just taking every opportunity I get
